"It was excruciating to say the least"
/Phil Attinger on 75-year-old Albert Miller getting attacked by a 9-foot gator at Lake Ashton Golf and CC last Wednesday while retrieving balls in a clear pond.
"He lifted me up three feet and slammed me down," Miller said.
Price ran over and grabbed Miller under his shoulders while the animal was thrashing and pulling.
The other two golfers in the foursome ran over to help.
Miller said the animal took one look at him and clamped down harder.
"It was excruciating to say the least," Miller said.
As the animal started dragging Miller into the water, Miller prayed for a miracle.
He got one.
"He let me go," Miller said. "I was three feet from my life. He had me submerged up to my belt buckle. That was my miracle of the month."
